Stephen Komarnyckyj

Steve Komarnyckyj is a PEN award winning literary translator and poet at Kalyna Language Press whose work has featured in Index on Censorship and The Guardian. He provides a unique literary insight into a war where a poem is as much a weapon as an AK 47. Sean Street has described his poetry as “the articulation of what it means to be human” but he will be happy if it just makes you look differently at goldfish.
